In dm-pcache, in order to ensure crash-consistency, a dual-copy scheme is used to alternately update metadata, and there is a slot index that records the current slot. However, in the write path the current implementation writes directly to the current slot indexed by slot index, and then advances the slot — which ends up overwriting the existing slot, violating the crash-consistency guarantee.
This patch fixes that behavior, preventing metadata from being overwritten incorrectly.
